            | BRIAN PUMPKIN MANIAC | WALES, NEW YORK | Can anybody recommend the best spectrum grow light for young plants... Im thinking of starting some plants a couple weeks earlier in an attempt to get a strong plant out in the patch and placed in the ground with minimal stem stress when keeping the vine close to the ground... | 3/4/2013 3:59:56 PM | 
		
            | Engel's Great Pumpkins and Carvings | Menomonie, WI ([email protected]) | One warm one cool has always worked for us...I have tried the special grow bulbs and have not noticed a real difference. | 3/4/2013 4:12:05 PM | 
		
            | meaford | Ontario | I agree, for the length of time your plants are under the lights, it makes little difference. Remember to keep the light as close to the plant as you can, especially tomatoesTerry

            | Dutch Brad | Netherlands | I used LED (blue and red) growing lights now. Little electricity, no warmth. Ideal. | 3/6/2013 11:31:08 AM |
